3 Year CiraSync Review
CiraSync is a service that just works once you have it configured and setup. Except for buying more or renewing licenses, we haven't had a need to call them. We haven't had a single time that the service hasn't worked or has been down.
PROSWe were looking for exactly what CiraSync offers. It's amazing how difficult it is to find a service that syncs the GAL to the user's People list. CiraSync does this with ease and cost effectiveness.
CONSThat's it's not free. That would obviously be the best price but obviously is not realistic. When we first got the service, CiraSync was unable to add licenses to the current lot and give a prorated price. So we have different license expiration/renewal dates all over the place. But, I would say approx. a year-ish ago, that has been fixed. You can now purchase licenses at a prorated rate and tac onto the current single lot so all licenses expire/renew at the same time. Thank you CiraSync for that. And that would have been my gripe, which isn't a gripe anymore because it has been fixed.

Solid job at Syncing Outlook365 GAL to Outlook on PC and Mobile
Cirasync excelled at making sure that their software was properly syncing our contacts. They are hands on, and provided in depth support to setup the software. The syncs have been running 1.5 years and with no issues.
PROSThe software consistently and reliably syncs contact information across our devices for all of our users. Since we have employees and some temporary users, it is easy to remove or add back users to sync with a check box. I appreciate the help from the people with Cirasync Application Support, and Dev's who went beyond my expectations to setup the software, and were able to map the HomePhone and Notes fields to properly sync.
CONSWe setup Cirasync in July2017 and discovered that a few contact fields from the GAL did not sync such as the HomePhone and Notes fields, even though these fields are listed in the software to sync. Cirasync confirmed the issue by saying, "Right now CiraSync does not push fields such as Home Phone and Notes for outside contacts". Impressively Cirasync team dove deep with us over a month's time with desktop sharing meetings and then engaged their DEV team to map these fields. As I am not a programmer or database expert, it was a little challenging to deep dive into how the different Outlook Fields map across platforms, but Cirasync provided ongoing help and got a working resolution.
Vendor Response
Hi Adam, Thank you for taking the time to review CiraSync & for giving us 5 stars in so many categories! We are always thrilled to hear from happy customers. The story you relate about the missing features and the speed with which our Dev team provided a solution exemplifies the commitment and dedication of not just the Dev team but everyone here at CiraSync at putting the customer first.

I am able to access my insigution’s Outlook calendar on my phone
CONSThe institution uses several different Outlook calendars, but this program only allows you to view one at a time, which means for me to find out what is happening on a particular day I need to review three separate calendars independently. I also do not like that there is no option to scroll through several days at once, you can only view one day at a time. I would prefer to see the events of several days in a row (like the “Schedule” view on Google’s iPhone calendar app). Thirdly, it would be ideal sync my personal google calendar with this app, then I wouldn’t need to view two different apps to see whether there is a conflict in my schedule.
Vendor Response
Hi Jonathan: Thank you for taking the time to provide detailed feedback on CiraSync. Yes, at this point the Personal Edition mobile app does not allow seeing several days at one time. I have shared your feedback with the team. Best, Sonya

CiraSync solved lots of problems for me
In a HIPAA concerned field, Information System administrators need a way to control access to information. And, in a 24x7 environment it is important to put important information at staff's fingertips. CiraSync was the perfect product for us. I can control information and push just what is needed to staff's phones.
PROSThe thing I like the most about the product is a very intuitive user interface. Even if I haven't had to use the administration portal in months, I can quickly log in and get to what I need. You do not have to be an Exchange or iOS engineer to use CiraSync in many powerful ways.
CONSEarly on there were key features I felt were missing. For example, limiting how many weeks/months of calendars to push. Many of these features have since been added. The feature I'm still hoping will be released soon is the ability to schedule more than one sync per day.
Vendor Response
Hi Wendy, Thank you for your time to review CiraSync: really appreciate your 5-star review! The intuitive user interface is the result of customer feedback and we are always happy to receive feedback on improving our software. I will share the feedback on scheduling a sync more than once a day with our dev team and circle back with you. Best, Sonya

CiraSync Helped Tremendously!
It has been a great, time-saving, inexpensive tool that has allowed everyone in our company to have mobile phone contacts that are in sync across every user. This has been very helpful and critical to situations of coverage, on-call availability, and the like. Their support has also been way above average, and the cost to benefit ratio is easy to justify for even strict budgets.
PROSThe software was easy to use when implementing the syncing of the global address list to all company users. The setup and interface were fairly straightforward and intuitive. Support was also very helpful with the minimal questions I had about configuration. We now have all company users receiving a daily sync of the GAL to their Outlook and mobile devices as a contact list.
CONSThere are some quirks with understanding how the combining of calendars works. That section of the tool was not as intuitive as the contact syncing features. I also wish the calendar function could combine the data on the server side, not the user side.
Vendor Response
Hi Joseph, Really pleased to hear that CiraSync has helped tremendously in your organization. We are always thrilled to hear from happy customers. Thank you for taking the time to review our software and also for calling out our stellar Customer Success Team. I will share the feedback on the calendar data with the Dev Team. Best Regards, Sonya

CiraSync A Solid Performer
We began using CiraSync about 2 years ago. The company has 4 public contact lists that required syncing in various combinations to our 50+ Office 365 users. We had used another product for a few years but found it very difficult to maintain and prone to partial or failed syncing. When we migrated to CiraSync we found it very reliable and very quick to perform syncs. We were able to have it set up and working, including our learning curve, in a couple of hours. Since we began using it we do not know of a single failed sync cycle. Adding new users and selecting the sync set for them takes just a few minutes.
PROSSet up is reasonably intuitive. Operation has been flawless for the 2 years we have used the software.
CONSUnderstanding their terminology and structure requires actually reading the set up documentation. However, once you understand their approach it has not been a problem.
Vendor Response
Hi Del, Thank you for such a stellar review: so great to hear that you have not experienced any issues since you have setup the software for your organization two years ago!

Great tool to sync contacts to phones
We are using CiraSync to push all the staff's contacts to company cell phones and must admit it is doing what it says. I wish above mentioned drawbacks could be addressed.
PROSIt pushes the contacts added (from synced office365) to the phone. Can customize, which account to add and which one not. Reporting is straight forward. User friendly and easy dashboard, as well as editing (making changes). Customer service is great. They come back to you in time with answer.
CONSNot sure, it has anything to do with CiraSync or just phone issue, when we replace any phone number in office365 it pushes (or add) second phone number to the account making two phone numbers (new and old) in the contact in phone. Also when we remove any contact from office365, it does not remove that account from phone. We have to delete the retired contact manually from phone.

Awesome product!
We needed to sync our company contacts to our mobile phone users. Sounds like something that should be easy to do, but there is no way to easily sync the GAL with a mobile phone. We needed the contacts to be READ-ONLY and always updated from the GAL so that every employee didn' end up wit their own outdated version of company contacts. Cira Sync to the rescue!
PROSIt does what it says it will do! We needed a sync utility that would push our corporate address book out to all of our mobile phone users. CiraSync did that for us and more. We were happy to learn that we can also sync shared calendars. The setup was easy and the few times I needed support, they were great!
CONSI can't think of anything. This software just works and we love it.

A fantastic tool for keeping our company’s contacts in sync.
Using CiraSync saves me a lot of time in data entry and trying to update outdated Vcards.
PROSCiraSync is simple to use. I just do what I normally do enter my user's information into Active Directory and I've selected an option to run a sync every night at 11pm. If I want the changes to take effect earlier then I simply do a manual sync by selecting that option. This pushes out all new contact information to my company’s Outlook, phones, or any other electronic device that is utilizing this software.
CONSSometimes I find it a bit difficult to find a user to delete once they leave the company. When trying to find them in the Contact Collection section there is not a way to alphabetize the list only expand it to see all the users.
Vendor Response
Hi Lauren, Thank you for taking the time to give us such a great review: much appreciated. And, very pleased to learn that you consider CiraSync to be a fantastic tool. I will share the feedback on alphabetizing the contact list with the Dev Team: I know they are always considering new features to add to the software. Best, Sonya

CiraSync solved our problems keeping contacts in sync
Contact Management sync on all mobile devices is no longer a problem! Everyone gets a pushed update of changes within minutes! Problem solved!
PROSCiraSync is the only cost-effective solution to keep our over 50 field technicians updated with correct contact information for the company staff. It is easy to use and maintain and we use it weekly. In addition, replacing smartphones and depopulation contacts is now so simple combined with Office 365 email. I was an early adopter of CiraSync and could not be more pleased with design and reliability of the product. Cost is very acceptable given that Microsoft has no solution for keeping contacts in sync across the enterprise with using Office 365 cloud solution.
CONSIt took some time to understand how to set up CiraSync, but their customer service was very helpful to get us through our challenges and learning curve.

This is the missing link between Microsoft's contacts and Smartphones
Overall experience has been good. Definitely give it a shot if you are looking for better contact management.
PROSIts more than that actually. We found Cirasync to take care of a few issues we had with Microsoft Office 365's contacts and Andriods / Apples abilty to sync the contacts. This provides us with a very flexible and customizable list of users and can push custom lits! It is easy to set up and import contacts It is an inexpensive solution Great support. No need of any extra app of software on the user end. Great for one person / smaller group IT shops
CONSThe dashboard is a little complicated for management. As this solution works the way you set it up but when you want to make changes, it can be confusing and it becomes a hit/miss during an update as it takes some time for the sync to work on individual phones. - UI is a tad bit confusing - The updates take some time and you will have to check back to make sure it worked. - There are some kinks, they work differently on Android and Apples.
